[anti-abuse-wg] 2011-06 New Policy Proposal (Abuse Contact Management in the RIPE NCC Database)

The syntax will make this an optional attribute means that you do not
need it, but it will be required for the abuse-c

You have a personal obejct which you use for tech-c and admin-c.

Today you add an optional abuse-mailbox attribute to your object and it
will show up twice while querying.

In future it would be like this. If you want to use the same personal
object for the abuse-c, the abuse-mailbox attribute will be optional for
the personal object, but you would need it to link it with an abuse-c.

So, yes it is optional for the object itself, but if you want to use the
object for abuse-c you have to have it.

Thanks,

Tobias
